At this moment, the luminosity of light-emitting component is directly proportional with electric current between the electrode of flowing through (anode and negative electrode).It is corresponding therewith that also to propose the flow through pixel structure of light-emitting component of each pixel of electric current be to be controlled by the electric current that is input to pixel parts (hereinafter referred to as Control current).This pixel structure is called as the current-control type pixel.
Fig. 7 is illustrated in an example of the current-control type pixel structure in the Actire matrix display device.
As shown in Figure 7, the current-control type pixel comprises a signal line 701,, 703, one lines 710 of 702, one power leads of sweep trace, a light-emitting component 709,704, one electric current storage transistor 705 of a switching transistor, the current transistor 706 of composition current mirror circuit, form current mirror circuit and be used for the driving transistors 707 of driven light-emitting element and a storage capacitors 708.
One of the source electrode of switching transistor 704 and drain electrode are connected to signal wire 701, and another utmost point is connected to the drain electrode of current transistor 706 and the source electrode and one of drain electrode of electric current storage transistor 705, and the grid of switching transistor 704 is connected to sweep trace 702.
The source electrode of current transistor 706 is connected to power lead 703.Drain electrode one side that the source electrode of electric current storage transistor 705 or electric current storage transistor 705 and switching transistor 704 disconnect is connected to an electrode of storage capacitors 708, the grid of the grid of current transistor 706 and driving transistors 707.

Below to explain to pixel shown in Figure 7 and import a vision signal and make the luminous driving method of light-emitting component (method of operating).When vision signal was imported into pixel, the current amplitude correspondence that the electric current of input (marking current) is had the brightness that this pixel shows.In pixel shown in Figure 7, being used for controlling the flow through Control current of electric current of the light-emitting component in each pixel is identical with vision signal (marking current).
A signal is transfused to sweep trace 702, makes switching transistor 704 enter the ON state, and then, the marking current of importing from signal wire 701 is transfused to pixel.Simultaneously, the signal that is input to line 710 makes electric current storage transistor 705 be in conducting state.
When reaching enough time after marking current is transfused to pixel, marking current turns between the source electrode of current transistor 706 and drain electrode and flows.Simultaneously, in storage capacitors 708, keep to make current transistor 706 to produce the grid voltage (voltage between grid and the source electrode) of a marking current by drain current.Change the signal of line 710 then, make electric current storage transistor 705 become nonconducting state.
Under current transistor 706 situation consistent with the characteristic of driving transistors 707, the drain current of current transistor 706 equals the drain current of driving transistors 707.Have an electric current to be input to light-emitting component 709 this moment, and it equals from the marking current of power lead 703 through driving transistors 707 inputs.So just can make light-emitting component 709 luminous according to the brightness of respective signal electric current.
Even no longer after the pixel current input signal, the voltage that keeps in memory capacitance 708 also can make the electric current of the driving transistors 707 of flowing through equal marking current.

Embodiment 1
Below to explain a kind of display device of Control current output circuit of the present invention and this Control current output circuit of employing.
Fig. 1 is a routine structural representation of Control current output circuit of the present invention.Should be noted that it is that structure with Control current output circuit 1100 is an example in the present embodiment, switch the output current of 4 accurate Control current output circuit 1102_1-1102_4 therein successively, and export from 4 lead-out terminals (lead-out terminal part) of Control current output circuit.
Control current output circuit 1100 is made up of an on-off circuit 1102 and accurate Control current output circuit 1102 (1102_1-1102_4) in Fig. 1.Accurate Control current output circuit 1102_1-1102_4 has transistor 1112_1-1112_4 respectively, and the lead-out terminal C1-C4 correspondence of accurate Control current output circuit 1102_1-1102_4 drain terminal.The gate electrode of transistor 1112_1-1112_4 is connected to the gate electrode of a reference transistor 1110.The gate electrode and the drain terminal (electrode) that connect reference transistor 1110 are from reference current 10 of flowing through between the source/drain of a reference current source circuit 1111 inputs.
Notice that the current potential on the source terminal of current potential on reference transistor 1110 source terminals (electrode) and transistor 1112_1-1112_4 is held consistent.In structure shown in Figure 1, flowed through power lead 1120 and obtain identical current potential of the source terminal of reference transistor 1110 source terminals and transistor 1112_1-1112_4.
The grid voltage of reference transistor 1110 and the gate electrode of transistor 1112_1-1112_4 are consistent, and obtain electric current I 1-I4 respectively from the drain current of transistor 1112_1-1112_4.At this moment, if the current characteristics of transistor 1112_1-1112_4 is consistent, current value I 1-I4 will equate.But because transistor 1112_1-1112_4 is multi-crystal TFT, electric current I 1-I4 is actually dispersion.Therefore, electric current I 1-I4 switches and output by on-off circuit 1101.
It is identical that the current characteristics that should be noted that the current characteristics of reference transistor 1110 and transistor 1112_1-1112_4 is not necessarily leaveed no choice but.That is to say, applying under the situation of identical grid voltage with transistor 1112 (meaning any one transistor 1112_1-1112_4) that the designer might be provided with mobile drain current according to the predetermined current ratio for reference transistor 1110.Yet mobility, characteristics such as threshold voltage should be consistent.
For example, the grid length of hypothetical reference transistor 1110 is Lo, and grid width is Wo.The grid length of supposing transistor 1112_1 is L1, and grid width is W1.If make Lo/Wo: L1/W1 is 1: 2, just can make electric current I 1 reach about 1/2 of reference current I0.
In addition, reference transistor 1110 and transistor 1102_1-1102_4 can be n channel-type TFT or p channel-type TFT, yet reference transistor 1110 must be identical with transistor 1102_1-1102_4 polarity.

Still, in D/A conversion fraction 203, utilize from the digital video signal of second latch cicuit, 213 inputs and select first tone reference current-three color scheme reference current with reference to Fig. 4.Like this, D/A conversion fraction 203 just can to Control current line CS1-CS4 output corresponding the analog current of digital video signal (marking current).
Should be noted that as constituting signal-line driving circuit, the configuration of the shift register 211 of first latch cicuit 212 and second latch cicuit 213 can be adopted various circuit with known configurations.
In addition, can replace shift register 211 to use with demoder or the like.
The first Control current output circuit 200A that in Fig. 5, has represented the signal-line driving circuit 220 in the structure shown in Figure 4, the circuit diagram of the concrete structure of the second Control current output circuit 200B and the 3rd Control current output circuit 200C and D/A conversion fraction 203.
Below to explain the structure and the working method of signal-line driving circuit 220 with reference to Fig. 5.
The first accurate Control current output circuit 202A constitutes by 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_1-114_1 of deposit.The second accurate Control current output circuit 202B constitutes by 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_2-114_2 of deposit.The 3rd accurate Control current output circuit 202C constitutes by 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_3-114_3 of deposit.
Because the gate electrode and the drain terminal of reference transistor 100 are interconnective, when reference transistor 100 was drawn drain current, it was operated in the saturation region.At this moment, an electric current I 0 from reference current source circuit 1111 inputs is imported between the source/drain terminal of reference transistor 100.Like this, reference transistor 100 just flows through certain drain current I0.
In Fig. 5, for reference transistor 100, constitute the transistor 101_1-104_1 of 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_1-114_1 of the first accurate Control current output circuit 202A, constitute the transistor 101_2-104_2 of 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_2-114_2 of the second accurate Control current output circuit 202B, all their source terminal is connected to power lead with the transistor 101_3-104_3 of 4 accurate Control current output circuit 111_3-114_3 that constitute the 3rd accurate Control current output circuit 202C, and their gate electrode connects with circuit.
So just can make the grid voltage and the transistor 101_1-104_1 of reference transistor 100, the grid voltage of 101_2-104_2 and 101_3-104_3 keeps equating.
The drain terminal correspondence of transistor 101_1-104_1 the lead-out terminal of the first accurate Control current output circuit, the drain terminal correspondence of transistor 101_2-104_2 the lead-out terminal of the second accurate Control current output circuit, and the drain terminal correspondence of transistor 101_3-104_3 the lead-out terminal of the 3rd accurate Control current output circuit.
Yet the grid width W1 and the grid length L1 that constitute the transistor 101_1-104_1 of the first accurate Control current output circuit 111_1-114_1 equate to be provided with.In addition, the grid width W2 of transistor 101_2-104_2 and the grid length L2 that constitutes the second accurate Control current output circuit 111_2-114_2 equates to be provided with.And the grid width W3 and the grid length L3 that constitute the transistor 101_3-104_3 of the 3rd accurate Control current output circuit 111_3-114_3 equate to be provided with.With the ratio W1/L1 of grid width W1 and grid length L1, the ratio W2/L2 of grid width W2 and grid length L2 is arranged on different values with the ratio W3/L3 of grid width W3 and grid length L3 herein.
For example can suppose that W1/L1: W2/L2: W3/L3 is 4: 2: 1.In this case, can make the mean value I_1 of current value of the electric current I 1_1-I4_1 of first accurate Control current output circuit 111_1-114_1 output, the ratio of the mean value I_3 of the current value of the electric current I 1_3-I4_3 of the mean value I_2 of the current value of the electric current I 1_2-I4_2 of the second accurate Control current output circuit 111_2-114_2 output and the 3rd accurate Control current output circuit 111_3-114_3 output reaches 4: 2: 1.
At this moment, for reference transistor 100 and transistor 101_1-104_1,101_2-104_2 and 101_3-104_3, although they can be n channel-type TFT or p channel-type TFT, reference transistor 100 and transistor 101_1-104_1, the polarity of 101_2-104_2 and 101_3-104_3 must be identical.
The electrical characteristics of transistor 101_1-104_1 are consistent, and the current value of electric current I 1_1-I4_1 is equal to each other.The electrical characteristics of transistor 101_2-104_2 are consistent, and the current value of electric current I 1_2-I4_2 is equal to each other.The electrical characteristics of transistor 101_3-104_3 are consistent, and the current value of electric current I 1_3-I4_3 is equal to each other.Yet because transistor 101_1-104_1,101_2-104_2 and 101_3-104_3 are multi-crystal TFTs, the dispersion of electric current I 1_1-I4_1, and the dispersion of the dispersion of electric current I 1_2-I4_2 and electric current I 1_3-I4_3 is actually very big.
Below to explain switch SW 1_1-SW1_3, SW2_1-SW2_3, the structure of SW3_1-SW3_3 and SW4_1-SW4_3.
For example be to use switch SW 1_1, SW2_1, SW3_1 and SW4_1 be according to each frame time cycle PCS1_1, PCS2_1, the output current I1_1-I4_1 of PCS3_1 and the PCS4_1 periodical exchange first accurate Control current output circuit 111_1-114_1, and output.
For example be to use switch SW 1_2, SW2_2, SW3_2 and SW4_2 be according to each frame time cycle PCS1_2, PCS2_2, the output current I1_2-I4_2 of PCS3_2 and the PCS4_2 periodical exchange second accurate Control current output circuit 111_2-114_2, and output.
For example be to use switch SW 1_3, SW2_3, SW3_3 and SW4_3 be according to each frame time cycle PCS1_3, PCS2_3, the output current I1_3-I4_3 of PCS3_3 and PCS4_3 periodical exchange the 3rd accurate Control current output circuit 111_3-114_3, and output.
Corresponding each accurate Control current output circuit (111_1-114_1 of each group, 111_2-114_2 and 111_3-114_3) the structure of switch (SW1_p-SW4_p) and driving method thereof can be similar among Fig. 2 the sequential chart of Fig. 3 in the structure shown in the SW1-SW4 and embodiment, therefore omitted relevant explanation herein.
With said structure correspondence the PCS1_1 of the first tone reference current, PCS2_1, the electric current of PCS3_1 and PCS4_1 output is temporarily average.In addition, correspondence the PCS1_2 of the second tone reference current with said structure, PCS2_2, the electric current of PCS3_2 and PCS4_2 output is temporarily average.With said structure correspondence the PCS1_3 of three color scheme reference current then, PCS2_3, the electric current of PCS3_3 and PCS4_3 output is temporarily average.
Below to explain D/A conversion fraction 203.
This part to Control current line CS1 output signal electric current constitutes by deposit transistor 401_1-401_3.
By line S1d_1 from second latch cicuit 213 first to the gate electrode input digital video signal of transistor 401_1.Source terminal or the drain terminal of transistor 401_1 are connected to PCS1_1, and another terminal is connected to Control current line CS1.
By line S1d_2 from second latch cicuit 213 second to the gate electrode input digital video signal of transistor 401_2.Source terminal or the drain terminal of transistor 401_2 are connected to PCS1_2, and another terminal is connected to Control current line CS1.
By line S1d_3 from second latch cicuit 213 the 3rd to the gate electrode input digital video signal of transistor 401_3.Source terminal or the drain terminal of transistor 401_3 are connected to PCS1_3, and another terminal is connected to Control current line CS1.
That part of corresponding Control current line CS2-CS4 also is similar to corresponding that part of Control current line CS1.
In the middle of the transistor 401_1-401_3 of D/A conversion fraction 203 by by via line S1d_1-S1d_3 from that transistor of the digital video signal conducting of second latch cicuit 213 input to that part of Control current line CS1 output signal electric current, first tone reference current-three color scheme reference current is to select to flow.So just can the analog signal current of digital video signal to correspondence of Control current line CS1 output.
Equally Control current line CS2-CS4 is also exported corresponding the analog signal current of digital video signal.
So just can in those pixels of the analog signal current input that each bar drawing electric current line CS1-CS4 is exported, disperse from the brightness that visually reduces its light-emitting component.
Should be noted that in this example, only is to have represented corresponding the Control current output circuit of 4 Control current lines typically.In general, all Control current lines from Control current to each pixel of display device that import are divided into many groups, and are to dispose like this in each group, from being similar to the Control current output circuit output Control current of Fig. 4 and structure shown in Figure 5.
So just can disperse from the brightness of the light-emitting component of each pixel of visually reducing display device and being had.
Should be noted that for the display device in this example, be used to control the luminosity of the light-emitting component of each pixel as the analog signal current of Control current input, and the pixel that is used to show can adopt any kind.For example be in common example, can adopt pixel structure shown in Figure 7.
Be that signal control circuit with such formation is an example in this example, promptly a plurality of Control current output circuits are shared a reference current source circuit and are produced a plurality of tone reference currents, but the present invention also is not limited only to this.The present invention can also be applied to a kind of like this signal-line driving circuit of structure, and the reference current source circuit of the electric current of the different current values of output can be provided respectively for a plurality of Control current output circuits therein.
Example 2
To be described in this example on the substrate with insulating surfaces and form the pixel parts of display device of the present invention and a kind of technology of driving circuit section with TFT.
In brief,, represented to be used for to select a switching transistor typically, for light-emitting component provides a driving transistors of electric current and a light-emitting component to the pixel current input signal as the element that constitutes pixel.Equally also represented typically to constitute the element of driving circuit section just by a n channel transistor and the cmos circuit that the p channel transistor is formed.
At first shown in Fig. 9 A, on the substrate 5001 that constitutes such as glass such as barium borosilicate glass or aluminium borosilicate glass that Coning Corporation indicates with #7059 glass and #1737 glass, form such as silicon oxide film the substrate film 5002 that insulation films such as silicon nitride film or silicon oxynitride film constitute.For example be with plasma CVD method SiH 4, NH 3And N 2O forms the silicon oxynitride film 5002a of a thickness from 10 to 200nm (preferably 50 to 100nm).Similarly, use SiH in the above 4, NH 3And N 2The stacked thickness of O is from the silicon oxynitride film 5002b of the hydrogenation of 50 to 200nm (preferably 100 to 150nm).In this example, substrate film 5002 has double-decker, but also can be the individual layer that forms with above-mentioned a kind of insulation film, or has the laminate film of two-layer above above-mentioned insulation film.
Then formation has the semiconductive thin film of non-crystal structure, and is patterned into island semiconductor layer 5003 to 5006.Obtain the crystalline solid semiconductive thin film having on the semiconductive thin film of non-crystal structure the laser crystal method of execution or known thermal crystalline method then.These island semiconductor layers 5003 to 5006 have the thickness of 25 to 80nm (preferably 30 arriving 60nm) separately.To the material of semiconductive thin film without limits, but preferably use silicon, SiGe (SiGe) alloy etc. form semiconductive thin film.
If make the crystalline solid semiconductive thin film, will use impulse hunting formula or continuous illuminated excimer laser, YAG laser instrument and YVO4 laser instrument with laser crystal method.Preferably adopt a kind of like this method when using these laser instruments, the laser beam of a laser oscillator being sent with optical system pools rectilinear form and shines on the semiconductive thin film.Suitably select a kind of crystalline state by operating personnel.If the use excimer laser, the impulse hunting frequency is set at 30Hz, and laser energy density is arranged on 100 to 400mj/cm 2(normally 200 arrive 300mj/cm 2).If use the YAG laser instrument, just utilize its second harmonic that the impulse hunting frequency is set at 1 to 10kHz, and laser energy density is preferably disposed on 300 to 600mj/cm 2(normally 350 arrive 500mj/cm 2).Pooling rectilinear form and having 100 to 1000 μ m for example is that the laser beam of 400 μ m width is irradiated on the entire substrate surface.This moment, the Duplication with linear beam was arranged on 50 to 98%.
Then form a grid insulating film 5007 that covers island semiconductive layer 5003 to 5006.Adopting plasma CVD method or sputtering method is 40 to 50nm insulation films formation grid insulating film 5007 with a kind of siliceous and thickness.Be to be the silicon oxynitride film formation grid insulating film 5007 of 120nm with thickness in this example.Yet grid insulating film is not limited in this silicon oxynitride film, can also be to contain other silicon and have individual layer or the insulation film of stepped construction.For example, when using silicon oxide film, mix TEOS (TetraethylOrthosilicate) and O with the plasma CVD method 2, reaction pressure is arranged on the 40Pa underlayer temperature is arranged on 300 to 400 ℃, and high frequency (13.56MHz) power density of discharge is set at 0.5 to 0.8W/cm 2So just can form silicon oxide film by discharge.The silicon oxide film of Zhi Zaoing can obtain Ideal Characteristics as the grid insulating film at 400 to 500 ℃ of following thermal annealings in this way.
First conductive film 5008 and second conductive film 5009 that form gate electrode are formed on above the grid insulating film 5007.In this example, forming thickness with Ta is 50 to 100nm first conductive film 5008, and to form thickness with W be 100 to 300nm second conductive film 5009.
Form the Ta film with sputtering method, with the target of Ar sputter Ta.In this case, if in Ar, add an amount of Xe and Kr, just can discharge Ta film inside stress in case film peel off.The resistivity of the Ta film of α phase approximately is 20 μ Ω cm, and this Ta film can be used as gate electrode.Yet the resistivity of the Ta film of β phase approximately is 180 μ Ω cm, is not suitable for being used as gate electrode.If be pre-formed crystalline texture and α Ta mutually near and tantalum nitride with 10 to 50nm thickness form the Ta film of α phase as the substrate of Ta film, the Ta film of acquisition α phase easily just.
Form W film as target with sputtering method with W.Also can use in addition tungsten hexafluoride ( WF 6) press the hot CVD method and form W film.Under any circumstance all needing to reduce resistance could be with this film as gate electrode.The resistivity of W film should be arranged on and be equal to or less than 20 μ Ω cm.If increase the W film grain size number, just can reduce the resistivity of W film.Yet,, will hinder crystallization resistivity is risen if having in the W film such as the many impurity elements of oxygen or the like.Therefore, when adopting sputtering method, to use purity at 99.9999% or 99.99% W target, and will form W film very finely, when the formation film, can not have the impurity of gas phase to sneak into W film.So just can obtain the resistivity of 9 to 20 μ Ω cm.
In this example, first conductive film, 5008 usefulness Ta form, and second conductive film, 5009 usefulness W form.Yet the present invention is not limited only to this situation.Also can be from Ta, W, Ti, Mo, Al and Cu or be that a kind of unit of selecting in the alloy material of principal ingredient or the compound-material usually forms these films with these elements.Can be the semiconductive thin film of representative also in addition with the polysilicon membrane that is doped with such as impurity elements such as phosphorus.The example of other combination except that shown in this example comprises: form first conductive film 5008 with tantalum nitride (TaN), and form the combination of second conductive film 5009 with W; Form first conductive film 5008 with tantalum nitride (TaN), and form the combination of second conductive film 5009 with Al; And form first conductive film 5008, and form the combination of second conductive film 5009 with Cu with tantalum nitride (TaN).
Then form a mask 5010, and carry out first etching step that forms electrode and line with resist.Adopt ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) engraving method in this example, use CF 4And Cl 2With a kind of gas mixing carrying out etching.Under the pressure of 1Pa, the electrode of coil type is applied RF (13.56MHz) the power generation plasma of 500W.Also to apply RF (13.56MHz) power of 100W, and apply a significantly reverse self-bias voltage substrate one side (sampling stage).At mixed C F 4And Cl 2The time, W film is identical with the etched degree of Ta film.
Under above-mentioned etching condition, as long as the mask that resist is constituted is made suitable shape, the end of first conductive layer and second conductive layer will form taper because of the effect of the bias voltage that is applied to substrate one side.The angle at taper position is set at 15 ° to 45 °.Preferably carry out etching, in order to avoid on the gate electrode film, stay residue in 10 to 20% ratio increase etching period.Because the selection percentage of silicon oxynitride film and W film is 2 to 4 (normally 3), the exposure of silicon oxynitride film is crossed etching step and is etched away 20 and arrive 50nm.So just can form the conductive layer 5011 to 5016 (the first conductive layer 5011a to 5016a and the second conductive layer 5011b to 5016b) of first shape that constitutes by first and second conductive layers with first etching step.In grid insulating film 5007,, form the zone of an attenuation not by regional etched 20 to 50nm of conductive layer 5011 to 5016 coverings of first shape.
Carry out the first doping step then a kind of impurity element of the n of providing type electric conductivity is provided.Doping method can adopt ion doping method or ion injection method.Ion doping method is carried out under the following conditions, and impurity is set at 1 * 10 13To 5 * 10 14Individual atom/cm 2, and accelerating potential is set at 60 to 100keV.With a kind of element that belongs to 15 families for example is that phosphorus (P) or arsenic (As) provide n type electric conductivity as impurity element.Yet that use is phosphorus (P) herein.In this case, conductive layer 5011 to 5015 is used as mask with respect to the impurity element that n type electric conductivity is provided, and forms first impurity range 5017 to 5025 with method for self-calibrating.According to 1 * 10 20To 1 * 10 21Individual atom/cm 3Concentration range in first impurity range 5017 to 5025, add the impurity element of n type electric conductivity (Fig. 9 B) be provided.
Then shown in Fig. 9 C, need not carry out second etching step by mobile Etching mask 310.Use CF4, Cl2 and O2 select the etching W film as etching gas.Form the conductive layer 5026 to 5031 (the first conductive layer 5026a to 5031a and the second conductive layer 5026b to 5031b) of second shape with second etching step.The zone that is not covered by the conductive layer 5026 to 5031 of second shape in the grid insulating film 5007 is further etched away 20 to 50nm, form the zone of an attenuation.
Using CF 4And Cl 2Mixed gas etching W film or the etching reaction during the Ta film can obtain with the steam pressure of the atomic group that produces or ion and reaction product.If fluoride and the halid steam pressure of W and Ta are compared, as the WF of the fluoride of W 6Steam pressure very high, and other WCl 5, TaF 5And TaCl 5Steam pressure be about equally each other.Therefore, W film and Ta film all are to use CF 4And Cl 2Mixed gas is etched.Yet, if in mixed gas, add an amount of O 2, CF 4With O 2Can react becomes CO and F, thereby produces a large amount of F atomic groups or F ion.Its result just can increase the etching speed that its fluoride has the W film of high steam pressure.In contrast, when F increased, the etching speed of Ta film increased fewer.Because Ta than the easier oxidation of W, adds O 2Can make the surface oxidation of Ta film.Because do not have the Ta of oxidation and fluoride or halogenide to react, the etching speed of Ta film is further reduced.So just can between W film and Ta film, obtain different etching speeds, be provided with the etching speed of W film than the etching speed height of Ta film.
Shown in Figure 10 A, carry out the second doping step subsequently.Dosage is reduced to below the dosage of the first doping step in this case, provide the dopant dose of impurity element of n type electric conductivity littler, and accelerating potential is higher than the first doping step.For example be to will speed up voltage to be arranged on 70 to 120keV, and dosage is set at 1 * 10 13Individual atom/cm 2New impurity range of the inner formation of first impurity range that so just can in the island semiconductor layer of Fig. 9 B, form.When mixing, the conductive layer 5026 to 5030 of second shape is also carried out doping as the mask with respect to impurity element, also add impurity element to first zone of conductive layer 5026a below 5030a.So just formed the 3rd extrinsic region 5032 to 5036.The 3rd extrinsic region 5032 to 5036 phosphorous (P), and have the mild concentration gradient that conforms to the thickness gradient at the taper position of 5030a with the first conductive layer 5026a.With the first conductive layer 5026a in the overlapping semiconductor layer in the taper position of 5030a, impurity concentration around centre is lower than the concentration of the first conductive layer 5026a to the edge, taper position of 5030a slightly.Yet this difference is trickle, and whole semiconductor layer almost keeps identical impurity concentration.
Shown in Figure 10 B, carry out the 3rd etch processes then.Use CHF 6As etching gas, and adopt reactive ion etching (RIE).Local etching falls the taper position of the first conductive layer 5026a to 5030a in the 3rd etching treatment procedure, to dwindle first conductive layer and semiconductor layer overlapping areas.So just formed the 3rd shape conductive layer 5037 to 5043 (the first conductive layer 5037a to 5042a and the second conductive layer 5037b to 5042b).Further at this moment etching grid insulation film 5007 is not by the zone of the 3rd shape conductive layer 5037 to 5043 coverings and make its attenuation 20 to 50nm.
Form the 3rd extrinsic region 5032 to 5036 by the 3rd etch processes.Between first extrinsic region and the 3rd extrinsic region each self-forming respectively with the first conductive layer 5037a to overlapping the 3rd extrinsic region 5032a of 5041a to 5036a and the second extrinsic region 5032b to 5036b.
Shown in Figure 10 C, in order to form p channel-type TFT, the 4th extrinsic region 5043 to 5054 of the conduction type of the formation and first conductivity type opposite in island semiconductor layer 5004 and 5006.Stop the mask of impurity element with the 3rd shape conductive layer 5038b and 5041b conduct, and press method for self-calibrating formation extrinsic region.At this moment with the island semiconductor layer 5003 and 5005 of an Etching mask 5200 whole coverings will formation n channel-type TFT.Extrinsic region 5043 to 5054 has been doped the phosphorus of variable concentrations.By ion doping to extrinsic region 5043 to 5054 doping diborane (B 2H 6), and in each extrinsic region, impurity concentration is arranged on 2 * 10 20To 2 * 10 21Individual atom/cm 3
In each island semiconductor layer, form extrinsic region by above step.Can be used as gate electrode with the 3rd shape conductive layer 5037 of island semiconductor ply to 5041.And 5042 can be used as the island signal wire.
Execution makes the step of the impurity element activation of adding in the island semiconductor layer with the control conduction type after removing resist 5200.This step is to carry out with the heating anneal method in the smelting furnace of a heating anneal.Also can adopt laser annealing activation or flash annealing method (RTA method) in addition.According to the heating anneal method, this step is for example to be to carry out in nitrogen environment under 500 to 600 ℃ the temperature at 400 to 700 ℃, and wherein the concentration of oxygen is equal to or less than 1ppm, preferably is equal to or less than 0.1ppm.Be the thermal treatment of carrying out four hours down at 500 ℃ in this example.The link material of using in 5042 when the 3rd shape conductive layer 5037 is met thermal change when soft, and preferably insulation film (is principal ingredient with silicon) is carried out activation afterwards again with protection line or the like between cambium layer.And then in comprising 3 to 100% hydrogen environment, under 300 to 450 ℃ temperature, carry out 1 to 12 hour thermal treatment, the island semiconductor layer is hydrogenated.This step is to receive the dangling bonds of semiconductor layer with the hydrogen knot that is subjected to thermal excitation.Also can carry out plasma hydrogenation (with the hydrogen of plasma exciatiaon) as the another kind of means of hydrogenation.
Shown in Figure 11 A, be insulation film 5055 between 100 to 200nm silicon oxynitride films formation ground floor then with thickness.Forming insulation film 5056 between the second layer with organic insulation on the insulation film between ground floor.Form then and connect insulation film 5055 between ground floor, the contact hole of insulation film 5056 and grid insulating film 5007 between the second layer, and composition with form line (comprise and is connected line and signal link) 5057 to 5062 and 5067 after composition and formation be connected to a pixel capacitors 5063 that is connected line 5062.
With the film of an organic resin material as insulation film between the second layer 5056.Organic resin can adopt polyimide, polyamide, polypropylene, BCB (benzocyclobutene) or the like.Particularly because insulation film 5056 is mainly for smooth and is provided with between the second layer, polypropylene is smooth useful especially to the maintenance film.Be to form a polypropylene film in this example, the difference in level that its thickness is enough to TFT is caused flattens smooth.Preferably its film thickness is arranged on 1 to 5 μ m (it is best to be arranged on 2 to 4 μ m).
When forming contact hole, to form respectively and reach n type extrinsic region 5017,5018,5021 and 5023 or the contact hole of p type extrinsic region 5043 to 5054, reach the contact hole of line 5042, reach the contact hole (not shown) of power supply line and reach the contact hole (not shown) of gate electrode.
And then by reservation shape to the laminate film composition of three-decker and be used as and connect line 5057 to 5062 and 5064.In this three-decker, form the Ti film that thickness is 100nm, an aluminium film that contains Ti and the Ti film that thickness is 150nm that thickness is 300nm continuously with sputtering method.Can certainly adopt other conductive film.
Be that ito thin film that to form a thickness be 110nm is as pixel capacitors 5063, and to its composition in this example.Pixel capacitors 5063 is touched connect line 5062 and with to be connected line 5062 overlapping and form and contact.A kind of transparent conductive film that also can adopt the potpourri of 2 to 20% zinc paste (ZnO) and indium oxide to constitute in addition.This pixel capacitors 5063 is used as the anode (Figure 11 A) of light-emitting component.
Shown in Figure 11 B, then forming a siliceous and thickness is the insulation film (being silicon oxide film in this example) of 500nm.Form the 3rd a layer insulation film 5065 as the edge, the position of corresponding therein pixel capacitors 5063 forms an opening.When forming opening, make the sidewall of opening form taper with wet etching easily.If the sidewall of opening is mild inadequately, horizontal difference will become serious problem to the defective that organic compound layer causes.
Then in closed environment, form an organic compound layer 5066 and a negative electrode (MgAg electrode) 5067 continuously with the vacuum evapn method.The thickness of organic compound layer 5066 is 80 to 200nm (normally 100 arriving 120nm), and the thickness of negative electrode 5067 is 180 to 300nm (normally 200 arriving 250nm).
In this step, with respect to the pixel of corresponding red coloration, corresponding green pixel and corresponding blue pixel form organic compound layer successively.In this case, because organic compound layer is not enough to tolerate solution, can not adopts photoetching process, but will form organic compound layer of all kinds separately.Thereby need only select to form organic compound layer with the position of metal mask covering except that required pixel at desired area.
Specifically, a mask that covers all sites except that the pixel of corresponding red coloration is set at first, selects to form the organic compound layer of red-emitting with this mask.Next is provided with a mask that cover to remove all sites corresponding the green pixel, with the organic compound layer of this mask selection formation transmitting green light.A mask that cover to remove all sites corresponding the blue pixel then is set equally, selects formation to launch the organic compound layer of blue light with this mask.Adopt different masks herein rather than reuse same mask.
The system of Cai Yonging forms corresponding three kinds of light-emitting components of RGB herein.Yet, the system that also can adopt the light-emitting component that to launch white light and chromatic filter to be made up, light-emitting component and a kind of fluorescent substance (fluorescent color transformation medium: the system that CCM) is made up with emission blue light or blue green light, and utilize transparency electrode to make respectively corresponding R, G, a kind of system that the light-emitting component of B and negative electrode (comparative electrode) are overlapping.
Organic compound layer 5066 can adopt material known.Consider driving voltage, organic material is preferably selected material known for use.For example, organic luminous layer preferably adopts by hole injection layer, hole moving layer, a kind of four-layer structure that luminescent layer and electron injecting layer are formed.
Then to form negative electrode 5067.Negative electrode 5067 in this example adopts MgAg, but is not limited only to this.Negative electrode 5067 also can adopt other material known.
To with thickness passive film 5068 of silicon nitride film formation of 300nm at last.Prevent to pollute with passive film 5068 protection organic compound layers 5066, further improve the reliability of light-emitting component.Yet not necessarily to form passive film 5068.
So just made a luminescent device of structure shown in Figure 11 B.In the manufacture process of this routine display device, because the structure and the technology of circuit, although signal wire is to form with material Ta that forms gate electrode and W, and the signal line is to form with the materials A l that forms drain electrode and source electrode, also can use different materials.
Luminescent device in this example is because of not only also having adopted the TFT that optimizes on the structure to have very high reliability in driving circuit and improved operating performance in pixel parts.In crystallisation step, can mix in film promotes crystallization such as metallic catalysts such as Ni.By promoting that crystallization just can be set to the driving frequency of signal-line driving circuit 10MHz or higher.
To adopt TFT with the structure that can reduce that hot carrier is injected and don't reduce operating speed n channel TFT as the cmos circuit that constitutes driving circuit section at first, as far as possible.
In example 2, the active layer of n channel TFT comprises source area, the drain region, LDD (light dope drain electrode) district overlapping and that grid insulating film is clipped in the middle (Lov district) with gate electrode, the LDD district (Loff district) not overlapping and that grid insulating film is clipped in the middle with gate electrode, and channel formation region.
Do not need too to worry the deterioration problem of the p channel TFT of cmos circuit here, therefore not necessarily want specifically created LDD district because of the hot carrier injection.Certainly, as a kind of measure that stops hot carrier, also can resemble and form the LDD district the n channel TFT.
In addition, if adopt the cmos circuit that electric current can two-way flow in channel formation region, the role exchange of source area and drain region in the cmos circuit just just should form the LDD district in the both sides of the channel formation region of the n channel TFT that constitutes cmos circuit, and channel formation region is clipped in the middle.In addition, if adopt the cmos circuit that can suppress the cut-off current value as far as possible, the n channel TFT that constitutes cmos circuit just should have a Lov district.
In practice; after the state of finishing Figure 11 B, preferably can have good hermetic properties and gastight diaphragm (for example being stacked film or ultraviolet curable resin film) or transparent sealant and in closed environment, carry out encapsulation (sealing) with one.Can be in the inner reliability that forms inert environments and improve light-emitting component at encapsulant positioned inside drying agent (for example being baryta) of encapsulant.
And then, after having strengthened hermetic properties, connect a connector (flexible print circuit: FPC), terminal lead is connected to the external signal terminal from element or the circuit that is located on the substrate by encapsulation step.So just made finished product.
In addition, can limit the quantity of making the required photomask of display device according to the step shown in the example 5.So just the energy reduction of erection time, reduce manufacturing cost, and improve output.
Example 2 can with example 1 arbitrary combination.

In example 4, to explain display device of the present invention with the sectional view of Figure 17.In addition, constitute in this example and only represented light-emitting component in the middle of the element of pixel of display device and be connected to a transistor on the pixel capacitors of light-emitting component.
In Figure 17, transistor (driving transistors) 1601 is formed on the pixel substrate 1600.
Driving transistors 1601 has gate electrode 1603, insulation film 1605 and a channel formation region 1604b.One of the drain electrode of driving transistors 1601 and source area are 1604a, and another district is 1604c.The 1604a of channel formation region 1604b and respectively corresponding source area and drain region, 1604c forms with a thin film semiconductive layer.On driving transistors 1601, form an interlayer film 1606.
In addition, driving transistors 1601 is not limited only to illustrated structure, can arbitrarily adopt any TFT with known configurations.The TFT that for example uses single gate herein is as driving transistors 1601, but also can be with the TFT of a plurality of grids.The TFT that uses top grid herein also can use the TFT of bottom grid as driving transistors 1601.Also can adopt the bigrid TFT that is furnished with two gate electrodes by a grid insulating film at the upper and lower position of channel region in addition.

Then form the insulation film that an organic resin material such as the photosensitive polypropylene of usefulness is made, and opening of position formation of the pixel capacitors 1620 of light-emitting component 1624 in correspondence, so just formed insulation film 1610.Problem for fear of the difference in height because of the opening sidewall causes organic compound layer to disperse just can form opening with a cutting step, makes it that enough mild tapered sidewalls be arranged.
After forming organic compound thin film 1611, form the counter electrode (negative electrode) 1612 of light-emitting component 1624 with the thickness lamination that silver (Ag) film below 10nm constitutes at (Cs) film of the caesium below the 2nm and thickness.The film thickness of the counter electrode 1612 of light-emitting component 1624 is reduced to minimum, and the luminous energy that sends from luminescent layer 1611 sees through counter electrode 1612, and the direction that light directive and pixel substrate 1600 is opposite.Then form the protective film 1613 of a protection light-emitting component 1624.
As mentioned above, under the radiative situation of opposite direction of the pixel substrate 1600 in display device, for light-emitting component 1624, do not need by be included in driving transistors 1601 that pixel substrate 1,600 one sides form at interior element from visually checking light-emitting component 1624, the ratio of the area of so just extending and open.
